“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” ~Jesus Christ
Jesus Walked
I’ve never been too keen on going
To a single place
Every single week to pray
And worship the Lord’s grace
Churches have just always seemed
A bit monotonous
A bit too easy, too familiar
And too little fuss
I started thinking about how
The Savior didn’t go
To the same building each week
To make His parish grow
Jesus walked and came to those
Who needed strength and hope
Jesus walked to heal the sick
And help downtrodden cope
Jesus walked and didn’t have
A set weekly routine
Jesus walked which kept His legs
As well as His faith lean
Explore, venture, get off the beaten
Path you always travel
Forgo the comfortable paved roads
And set out on the gravel
Walk out of your comfort zone
And change, adapt, discover
Only when you look in new
Places will you uncover
New people, new challenges
New things to overcome
Enliven all those senses which
Have grown tired and numb
Follow in the footsteps of
The Savior and start walking
You weren’t meant to simply sit
And listen to some talking
If you’re blessed with legs then walk
And put your faith in motion
Sitting and listening doesn’t
Take any devotion
Don’t just hark on what Christ said
Take heed of what He did
Jesus never stayed put and
He surely never hid
Think about it next time you
Get in your car and drive
Down to church, just ask yourself
“Is this how people thrive?”
Maybe you’d be better off
To stretch your legs instead
And put to use all the things in
The Bible you have read
